1 The Thomson Reuters Lipper Fund Awards, Taiwan, evaluate the funds registered in Taiwan.
2 Our Resource-Rich Countries High Yield expertise aims to safeguard capital, seek out long-term appreciation and stable revenue, while also diversifying risk. It invests at least 62% of net assets in sovereign and/or corporate bonds in emerging markets that are rich in natural resources, and holds at least 60% in high yield securities. The Resource-Rich Countries High Yield expertise is not a guaranteed fund, so there is a risk of capital loss.
